Furthermore, forestryand wood related products accounted for 13.3 per cent of New Zealand’s total goodsexports. 92A forest industry strategic study in June 2011 identified strong support for a panindustrystrategy and a mandate for the Wood Council of New Zealand Inc to developone. 93 The resultant New Zealand Forest and Wood Products Industry Strategic ActionPlan was released in March 2012. The vision for the plan is for annual export earningsto more than double to $12 billion in the 10 years to 2022, from a New Zealand forestand wood products industry that is: delivering innovative wood-based solutions from a sustainable resource to meetour customers’ needs manufacturing a range of high-value, fibre-based products, including newbiochemical and biofuel value streams recognised as a world-leader in timber-engineered building solutionsunderpinned by forest growing as a valued and profitable land userecognised as a key New Zealand growth industry, delivering strong economicand environmental benefits connected and collaborative across the value chain, from end-product toseedling92New Zealand Institute of Economic Research Inc (2011, p. ii).93Hilliard et al (2011, p. 3).Page 36 Doc #: 2069885
characterised by industry players that have pride in each other, with the sectorregarded as a preferred career option for our brightest talent. 94This is also considered to be an important sector in the neighbouring Bay of Plentyregion. For example, the Bay of Connections launched a Bay of Plenty regional forestryand wood processing strategy in September 2011.3.3.6 High value services 95Waikato has research and education strengths in agriculture, geothermal energy andinformation and communications technology (among other sectors) that are supportedby commercial capability and regulatory arrangements that have enabled innovation.There is an opportunity to increase the commercialisation of this knowledge andprovide valuable services to international clients. There are several examples ofcollaboration for export in this sector, including:Dairy SolutioNZ (NZ) Ltd and Beef SolutioNZ (NZ) Ltd: Waikato InnovationPark is a partner in these two commercial consortiums of establishedagricultural producers and suppliers. These consortiums combine theexperience, technology and delivery capabilities of the AgBio Cluster to provideleading edge, low cost, sustainable farm production systems.They design and build (or convert) large scale farm operations that adoptleading low cost technologies and systems. A feature of their offering is the"Best of Breed" turnkey solutions for large scale land development andtechnology deployment. They also deliver support and education for ongoingfarm operations. 96Geothermal New Zealand: Geothermal New Zealand is an evolvingcollaboration that extends the diverse skills of New Zealand’s geothermalexpertise to countries exploring their geothermal potential. It also aims to openup opportunities for the direct use of geothermal resources within NewZealand. 97 There are approximately 70 New Zealand firms with geothermalexpertise across the value chain; from exploration and drilling through to design,project management, construction, and operation. 98Digital Industry Forum: This is an industry cluster group that aims to grow,support and promote the collective capabilities of Waikato’s digital industry. Thecluster was established by SODA Inc in 2009 and is currently made up of 50participating companies plus nearly 400 individual members.Through its collective approach the forum believes it can help its members toachieve substantially more export growth. The resulting global exposure willprovide value for members and will create a positive perception of the Waikatoas a sought after place for highly skilled entrepreneurs, creatives andtechnologists to live and work.94Wood Council of New Zealand (2012, p. 6).95Professional, scientific and technical services (ANZSIC code M).96Innovation Waikato Ltd (2011b) Large scale dairy development.97New Zealand Trade and Enterprise (2011a, p. 12).98New Zealand Trade and Enterprise (2011a, p. 16).Doc # 2069885 Page 37
